Invitation

"Wow"

"Just wow."

Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto na kaming nakatitig sa aming harap habang paulit-ulit nila itong binabanggit.

Even I, was speechless when we arrived in here. I didn't know that such serene place existed. Now I get why Achi decided to build a cabin near here. The lake is just breathtaking. I didn't even know how he got this place as his sanctuary. 

The only thing you can see in here is this view and his cabin. To be honest, there's more than beauty in here. Such peace will make your life in full contentment.

Imagine being able to spend your life here with your loved ones. Building your own family, watching your kids grow up, spending the rest of your life with your other half. 

Just simple and peaceful life.

For envision, I see a girl running, full of laughter in here. A sunny day, where she get to hang out with her family.

I see myself as that girl, holding fishing rod guided by my dad. While my mom is busy setting up the picnic ground for us. I see a dog playing with me, my parents adoring our bonding day with just the three of us.

As I vision all of these, it feels like they are all real. I feel like that those moments existed in real life, my past life where I'm still connected even if I have forgotten everything.

My young self whose free from all the obstacles in this fucking world.

I miss her and I wish I could turn back time.

"Bruv, yung totoo, balak mo na bang magpamilya?" tanong ni Lucifer.

"Oo nga! Ganitong ganito yung mga gusto nang magsettle sa buhay. Tipong nagbibilang na lang ng araw tapos kukunin na siya ni Lord." si Bryles.

"Siraulo, mali ka naman, e. Lalayo siya tapos dito na titira kasi may malubha siyang sakit tapos magtatago siya kasi hinahunting na siya ng jowang iniwan niya sa syudad tapos-" si Haniel.

"Namo, 'di na natapos yang "tapos" mo." si Bryles.

Sa isang iglap, nasira ang pangarap kong buhay sa lugar na ito. Kung sila ba naman ang kasama mo dito, o kahit saan mang lugar ay imposibleng magkaroon ng katahimikan.

Iiling-iling na lang na pumasok sa loob ng cabin si Achi at iniwan kami sa labas. Syempre, sumunod ako sa kaniya. Gusto ko siyang kamustahin dahil alam kong hindi pa rin siya maayos kahit na ilang oras na ang nakalipas simula nang makaharap niya ang kaniyang ama.

"Achi." tawag ko sa kaniya.

Hindi naman niya ko pinansin o nilingon man lang kaya naman hinabol ko siya hanggang sa masabayan ko na siya sa paglalakad.

"Ayos ka lang ba?" tanong ko.

Sinulyapan niya ko at tinanguan. Sure na ba siya doon? Mukhang hindi siya okay. Nakapasok kami sa isang kwarto nang hindi nagsasalita. Agad siyang bumagsak sa kama at pinatong ang braso sa kanyang mata.
